He is coming from a country that suffered terrorist attacks organized by the US (Operation Mongoose), being ready to fire his country’s deterrent weapons if they don’t stop receiving such attacks makes sense to me.

I wouldn’t trust the country that tried to assassinate Cuba’s leader, overthrow their government and organized terrorist attacks in its land to have valid criticisms for Cuba.

Health workers may also face criminal penalties if they “abandon” their jobs.
This sounds bad, but then again they’re on a foreign mission, with their country’s reputation on the line. A considerable amount of health workers abandoning their jobs might make the mission infeasible, which could create diplomatic issues for Cuba. Also, I wonder if that’s the case on soldiers (American or otherwise) on foreign missions. I would expect that they can’t abandon their jobs without penalty, and I don’t see how this is that different.
it is considered a “disciplinary offense” to have “relationships” with anyone whose “actions are not consistent with the principles and values of the Cuban society,” as well as to be “friends or establish any other links” with Cuban dissidents, people who have “hostile or contrary views to the Cuban revolution,” or who are “promoters of a way of life contrary to the principles that a Cuban collaborator abroad must represent.”
Again, these seem restrictions that would apply on soldiers on foreign missions, so it doesn’t seem weird to me that they apply to Cuba’s medical missions.
Under Resolution 168, doctors need “authorization and instructions” to “express opinions” to the media about “internal situations in the workplace” or that “put the Cuban collaboration at risk.” It is also an offense to “disseminate or propagate opinions or rumors that undermine the morals or prestige of the group or any of its members.”
I believe Cuba wouldn’t need to enforce this if they weren’t under -economic- siege by the US and their allies. What the doctors do or say on the missions could be the start of a diplomatic incident.
Others said they joined in the hope of leaving the country or of obtaining access to food, such as meat, which they cannot buy with their salaries in Cuba.
I can’t help but wonder if meat would be cheaper in Cuba without the embargo against them.
Marx actually knew some Russian
When someone pulled the “Engels was a factory owner” card on me, I did some minimal searching and found that it was his father who owned the factory, with him getting appointed to a menial desk job. But even if that’s not true (and the reason I didn’t search any further) is that it doesn’t really matter, even if he was a hypocrite the analyses he did with Marx and the actions they propose seem valid.
I’ve heard that pre-WW2 everyone else also used red for their side

Thanks for the reply, I think it clarifies the key differences.
Isn’t it hypocritical to point this out while most of the people here support the DPRK, which is ruled by the Kim family since 1948? Asking in good faith.
After reading Catch-22, I was kinda disappointed to learn that it doesn’t portray Heller’s experiences in WW2. Obviously I didn’t expect the wacky satirical stuff to be true, but I believed that the portrayal of the soldiers as jaded, looking to dodge as many missions as possible to get home alive was. But he stated that it was not at all like this, and that it was an enthusiastic, patriotic war (or something along these lines).
If you’re talking about the bus route then you just don’t know what you’re talking about. Like others have said it already happens in Moscow and DC, and I can add my own experience with Athens.
Obviously if they want to do repairs or maintenance they don’t close one station, they close part of the line and replace it with an express bus line. Yes it’s slower and will make traffic worse but it simply must happen at some time.
Going by your logic, creating a subway system in a city with traffic issues is a “lose lose” because the roadworks will make traffic worse for a couple of years.
but at what cost
it’s not like you can just close down a station
It’s pretty much like that, then like someone else said you provide a bus route between the two stations. It’s an inconvenience but has to happen at some time.
For smaller repairs like painting you an paint half of the station while keeping the other half operational, then finish the job some days later.
firing squads are probably a better idea than the lethal injection
UAE and Jordan are Arab states that have recognized Israel
How is that, in any way, answering the question?! You could mention some of those features…

Competition is good, unless it’s competition from [enemy country] on [critical industry].
Same BS as with the WSJ opinion article that didn’t want Chinese electric cars on Europe because European car manufactures wouldn’t be able to compete.
